Christine Promo Movie Car Invites its Members to Its New HOME!!!

First off , my name is Bob Bartosiewicz and one of your members John,who bought a wicked cool 69 ram iv gto from me 2 years ago, text me about this site. Thanks john!... I specifically went to Barrett on tuesday for the purposes of buying this car.Knowing the car sold for 170,000 eleven years earlier, i was anticipating a 275k all in price;250 +the 10 percent commission.Many people didnt realize that tuesday was horrible weather wise in Az, so i was hopeful that may have discourage some rich car enthusiasts in going . After the 1990s version Beverly hillbilly truck sold for 275k , i upped my pledge to 305k before commissions. I figured, there was no way Christine with all its movie documentation was not going to be in the 300s ....easy!One guy next to me said im out!!!!I couldnt believe my eyes; why he left i found out later!If you watched the bidding it went to 170,000 in almost 30 seconds. At this point, i had yet to bid . i couldnt believe my ears, it staaaaaallleeed!!! for like 45 seconds to a minute.So i thought i bid 175,000.;however,the lady that was the tv person said someone just bid 175k. So after taking a drink of vodka , i went 180k,prepared to fight to at least 300k, but willing to go that extra 5k.Then 15 seconds later the hammer dropped.ASTONISHED!!!... The guy, who left, comes to me 2 hours later blown away. i asked him why he left;he over heard me telling my friend my number; he was afraid it would have a been a bidding war.....over the next three days when i was at my car, i was offered on 4 separate occasions more than 225k ; the highest being 253k .The collector figured i would fold for a pair of large nickles in my pocket.Everyone of those offers came from people that arrived on friday . WHY this car wasnt at Pratts Saturday Selection is beyond me..Keith Merchants Magazine editor came over and asked me questions...also stating how great of a buy this was..... BTW you are all welcome to come see the car when it arrives ,sometime this coming week.....or anytime rochesterautomuseum.com bob

Bob Its very nice to have you here. And very excited that you were the one that got the car. You not only have the promo car but also a piece of the Christine history. Congrats Bob! You have to feel excited and proud of it!

I own and operate two Drive in theaters a few hours down the road from you. El Rancho in Palatine Bridge,NY and Ozoner 29 twin in Broadalbin,NY. I'll have to come check your cars out. I collect and display my movie car clones at the theatres and plan on retro nights with their movies as well. I'm thinking of expanding my pole barn and my collection to include a Drive in movie car museum at The Ozoner 29 twin location.

Hello Bob...So glad to have you here with us at the CCC. I'm a Rochester native and look forward to meeting you some day soon. We have a mutual friend in John Fox. He has told me a lot about you and your cars. I'm the guy with the 58 Desoto that he may have told you about. I look forward to meeting you soon and seeing Christine too. Thanks for doing "cars and coffee" last year. I hope you will do this again in 2015. Congratulations on getting Christine in your collection!

And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life, he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.1 John 5:11-12 [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Congratulations Bob! You've got an icon there! Lady luck was on your side by the sound of it. You must be a real die hard fan to have turned down the opportunity to almost double your investment. Let us know when she arrives and is set up! We'll make a visit to your museum a club event!
